Model ML Opens Its Middle East Office in Dubai

5 MIN. READ

Model ML today announced that it has opened its Middle East office in Dubai.

Banks and sovereign investors in the Gulf increasingly come to Model ML already knowing they need a specialist AI layer built for financial services. Model ML's clients in the region already include a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi and investment banks such as Awad Capital.

Supporting that work means having people on the ground. The Dubai office brings Model ML's team closer to its clients in the Gulf, so it can work alongside them day to day and embed Model ML into their investment and advisory workflows.

The office is led by a founding team of four:

  • Raghav Sehgal, General Manager, Middle East (previously Bain)

  • Salman Abdulla Al Khalifa, Engagement Manager (previously McKinsey)

  • Ajinkya Patwardhan, Engagement Manager (previously McKinsey)

  • Roberto Tabet, Engagement Manager (previously Lunate)

Model ML is hiring in the Middle East. If you want to help build Model ML there, see our open roles.
